What should I do if my child has a fever and vomits?

We all know that babies have poor physical fitness and generally weak resistance, so they are easily infected by bacteria or viruses, and colds and fevers are inevitable. However, when the baby has a cold and fever, he may vomit, and the mother will be very worried at this time. In order to eliminate mothers' worries, the editor will share with you today what we should do when the baby has a fever and vomits.

What causes a child to have a fever and vomit?

1. Gastrointestinal cold. When children's respiratory tract is infected by a virus, they will experience nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, they will be accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.

2. Throat irritation. After respiratory tract infection, the throat is infected, with redness, swelling, secretions, and coughing. If vomiting occurs after coughing, it should be considered to be caused by irritation of the throat.

3. Fever causes intestinal dysfunction. After fever, gastrointestinal motility slows down, the effect of digestive enzymes decreases, the baby suffers from indigestion, abdominal bloating, and is prone to vomiting.

What to do if your child has a fever and vomits

1. Drink more water: Let your baby drink more water to help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

2. The diet should be light: When the baby has a fever, the diet should be light, easy to digest and absorb, and semi-liquid food is appropriate, such as nutritious porridge and egg noodle soup; eat more vegetables and fruits, especially fresh fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C.

3. When the baby has abdominal bloating, the mother needs to help the baby exercise appropriately, change the baby's sleeping position, or hold him up and pat his back to help expel gas.

What mothers need to pay attention to is: if the child does not have a high fever, do not rush to reduce the fever immediately, otherwise it will hide the real cause of the disease. If you experience cramps, unconsciousness, severe vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, abdominal tenderness and hardness, headache, stiff neck, etc., you may have other complications and must seek medical attention immediately.

The above is what I want to share with you today about some causes and treatment methods of baby's fever and vomiting. I hope my sharing will be helpful to you mothers. The editor reminds all mothers to pay more attention to their baby’s physical health and be careful not to let their baby catch a cold. The editor also wishes all babies good health.
